Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Huh? Friend, what kind of look is that?" Sai Fei'er glanced at Yan Huan.

That's a very impolite expression on your face.

"I just think you're amazing," Yan Huan replied.

“Really? I think so too.” Saifeier crossed her arms and continued:

"Actually, the reason I came back is because I suddenly made some discoveries before I left, and I felt that I should pass on a message to you."

“The child who refused to die—I found his footprints here.”

"What was his name again...?" Sai Fei'er looked up at the blue-purple night sky, lost in thought.

"Wan Di, I saw him get killed on the way here," Yan Huan reminded him.

"Oh right, right!" Sai Fei'er suddenly realized.

"That's the name. Anyway, I've delivered the message... As for whether it's useful or not, you can decide for yourselves."

"See you later, Huanzi, the princess of the secluded house."

After saying that, Sai Fei'er disappeared instantly.

"Wow, she's so fast!" Mimi exclaimed.

"Lady Saifei has always been... capricious," Xia Die sighed.

"But in any case, she brought us valuable information."

"If Lord Wan Di were also on the shallows right now, he would surely be our guiding light."

"Because he is different from those wandering souls... even in the world of the dead, he will surely be able to find his way."

"I understand." Yan Huan nodded. "Because he comes a lot, right?"

The underworld is the place people can only reach after they die; it's commonly known as the netherworld.

Wan Di is a regular here due to his special physique.

Unlike Yan Huan, Xia Die, and Sai Fei'er, who arrived voluntarily, Wan Di's soul must have been automatically transferred after his death.

The deeper path was covered by the waters of the River Styx.

"Sir, this is a real problem..."

Xia Die looked at Yan Huan, "The waters of the Styx River should not be touched lightly; we must find a way to avoid them."

"It's just about not getting it wet, what's so difficult about that?"

Yan Huan immediately took out a small boat and threw it onto the water, splashing up a lot of waves.

“We can easily row across.”

Before long, Yan Huan sat on the small boat, and the task of rowing naturally fell to Xia Die.

Xia Die stood at the bow of the boat, carrying Yan Huan like a ferryman, silently rowing towards the darker distance.

Hearing the babbling water and feeling the intense deathly aura around her, Yan Huan suddenly had a strange feeling.

It's as if the butterfly is seeing itself off on its journey.

Upon arriving at the other end of the dock, a group of soldiers' spirits were waiting there, patiently awaiting Yan Huan and Xia Die's arrival.

"Ah, your appearance... could you be the foreign warriors the Queen mentioned?" the leading soldier asked.

"I am truly sorry, this expedition cannot tolerate the slightest negligence, and I was unable to spare the time to welcome them. Please forgive me."

"...A warrior from a foreign land?" Xia Die asked in confusion, not understanding what these people were talking about.

“Yes.” The man’s soul looked at Yan Huan, Xia Die, and Mi Mi.

"A priest, a warrior, a strange beast... exactly as the queen described, a savior sent from heaven!"

“No.” Yan Huan waved her hand. “I’m the one with the pet; I’m a hunter.”

Mimi: "What are you talking about?"

Xia Die looked at the soldiers, "Going on an expedition...? May I ask, who are you going to attack?"

The soldier shook his head. "Right now... nobody knows."

"One of the scouts who went to explore returned, saying that it was an inaccessible forbidden land, a gate to the human world opened by the underworld..."

"The rest... lost all their consciousness and gradually decayed."

"There is still controversy in the city-state. Scholars believe that this calamity is unprecedented and should be given a new name."

Thoughts on the faraway butterfly:

"An unprecedented calamity? Could it be... [death]?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier's expression turned serious:

"You have indeed heard about it. Of course... [death] is only one possibility, and there is no conclusion yet."

The butterfly seemed lost in thought.

"A world that has never seen [death]... It seems these people lived in the Golden Age before the arrival of the Cataclysmic Titans."

"The Golden Age?" Yan Huan became interested.

"Is this the point in time that Katniss and the other elders wanted to return to?"

“That’s right.” Xia Die nodded.

She then asked the soldier:

"Excuse me... where is the scout who returned?"

The soldier replied:

"He returned to Stikosia... but only held out for half a day. It was his observations that made us decide to rally together."

"In that perilous place, he said he glimpsed the shadow of a dragon."

"It opened its enormous maw and devoured everything in its path, bringing that thing called [death] to Stikosia."

“Stikosia…the evil dragon that brings death…” Xiaodie fell into deep thought.

This is exactly the same story I've heard.

"Does this sound familiar? Isn't this a plot from a prophetic fairy tale?" Yan Huan looked at Xia Die.

“This story not only exists in the present world, but also was told to Cecilia in the previous cycle.”

The same story has been passed down through two generations, so there must be some explanation for it.

Xia Die asked the soldier again:

"Sir, may I ask how the Queen and Princess are doing?"

The soldier was taken aback for a moment, then quickly regained his previous excitement. "Ah, your appearance... could you be the foreign warriors the Queen mentioned?"

Yan Huan: "Transfer to manual processing."

Xiadie: “…”

Chapter 1376 Send Them On Their Way

"Let me do it."

Xia Die stepped forward and said to the soldier:

"Your Excellency, the war is long over. Stikosia... no longer exists."

The soldier was taken aback, finding it hard to believe.

"what are you saying……?"

"Stikocia... how could it have been destroyed?"

"This...this won't do! New warrior, get into formation immediately!"

"?" Yan Huan raised an eyebrow. "Are you really escaping reality like this?"

Seeing this, Xia Die patiently explained:

"Your Excellency, I am the [Holy Maiden of War] sent by Her Majesty the Queen. If you accept my blessing, today's battle will surely be successful."

Putting aside how shameful it was to call herself the "Holy Maiden of War," Yan Huan felt that anyone who actually accepted her "blessing" would be incredibly lucky.

"Saintess? Never heard of her... Time is of the essence, please don't delay too long."

"Hmm..." Xia Die slowly raised her hand, sending the soldier on his way.

"Please rest assured, I have always... not wanted this moment to last too long."

Without encountering much resistance, the soldiers were killed by Xia Die once again.

Now... perhaps that's when they're truly dead.

"I never imagined I'd still have to perform [encoffining] in the world of the dead..."

After the soul disappeared, a dark purple energy ball suddenly appeared.

"?"

"Why is it dropping items?"

Xia Die examined it closely, "It seems... to be a remnant of a soul."

After she raised her hand to touch it, a phantom of a memory unfolded before the two of them.

Yan Huan looked ahead and saw that the two figures were Aglaia and Xia Die.

"?"

"Why were the soldiers able to access your memories?"

"I...don't know."

Amidst Xia Die's confusion, the two phantom memories began to converse.

Aglaia's silhouette was visible, and she calmly questioned Xia Die, "Then how can I entrust you with my trust, Saintess who has come from afar?"
